Dear City Council: ( Please consider the following as public input for the City Council meeting on June 2, 2026.) I am very concerned that the proposed SB 330 project for the South East corner of the Finch Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd. intersection is just too big and too dense for this heavily used corner next to Cupertino High School. This is already a very busy corner with lots of car, bike and pedestrian traffic, especially since it is across the street from the very busy Main Street Main entrance Of the shopping mall. The Cupertino High School students walk to the County Transit Bus Bench for Bus 23 and 523 which is In front of this proposed complex. This intersection already has too much traffic and this project will be introducing more traffic. The project will be taking out Sunflower Day Care Building and other banks and retail in the current Complex. Daycare is extremely important for people. We have already lost so much retail from the other SB 330s on Stevens Creek Blvd. This building will back up to the high school. There is a driveway currently behind the bank buildings. Will this easement be retained? There is also a back driveway to the two story tech building to the East of the project. Is this also a shared easement? I see no development boards for the project up on Stevens Creek Blvd. When is this project going to put up development boards with information about the project and when will there be community meetings on the project? I understand even SB 330 allows Community Meetings. This project is a high profile project for the Eastern End of Cupertino because we already have had to deal with issues from traffic from The Rise and what is happening to Wolfe Road. Please reach out to the public to begin a dialog about this project so issues with traffic, over building, Student safety and potential gridlock on Stevens Creek Blvd. can be addressed. I do hope the street trees can be retained on the Stevens Creek Blvd. frontage and Finch Avenue frontage. I hope Heart of the City can be respected and there will not be skyscrapers along our beautiful Heart of the City. I hope the project can see fit to have the graceful Mission style architecture reflecting Cupertino's historic past which is so gracefully incorporated into The Marketplace Shopping Center across Stevens Creek Blvd. from the old Sears Building at Vallco/ The Rise and so successfully incorporated into the Westport (former The Oaks site) on the west end of the city. De Anza College has lovely Spanish architecture and is always a delight to behold. I hope that the current businesses at this proposed construction site will be contacted and given viable options to stay in the city, especially the daycare which I imagine many Apple employees Utilize for their children. Thank you for your attention to this project and the issues that arise from it. Please let us know The timeline on the project and when the development board is going up. Also, please let us know about Community Meetings. This is the seventh SB 330 along Stevens Creek Blvd since January. It is exhausting. Best regards, Jennifer Griffin Cupertino Resident
